Most Helpful Review
Spring 2019 - I do not recommend this class. I loved comparative politics in high school (I even got a 5 on the AP test), but this class sapped my passion for it. Mr. Lofchie is a nice guy, but his lectures are not engaging at all, even though they are essential for the exams. The class is graded completely on two multiple-choice exams, based mostly on lectures and a bit on the readings. I found this somewhat unfair because a few students barely paid attention in class but did really well on exams because they had access to previous exams through test banks, whereas a lot of people studied really hard but barely survived the class because of how specific the multiple-choice questions were.
